David Arquette and Courteney Cox are getting a divorce after a lengthy legal separation that dates back to October 2010.
Serving as his own lawyer, David filed the paperwork last Friday. The reason cited was “irreconcilable differences.”
At the time the couple first went public with their marital woes they claimed to be “best friends” and vowed to work together to co-parent their daughter, who is now 8-years-old.
Their joint statement claimed, “The reason for this separation is to better understand ourselves and the qualities we need in a partner and for our marriage.”
Not long after the initial split Arquette did a stint in rehab for addiction issues. He followed that up as a contestant on the ABC reality competition Dancing with the Stars.
Courteney and Coco attended all seven weeks of the dance competition, smiling and cheering from the VIP area.
Their last joint sighting was at Joel Silver’s Memorial Day party in Malibu, as seen in the above photos.
Immediately after filing for divorce David Arquette headed to Israel. He shared a photo on Twitter that he tagged, “I had my Bar Mitzvah today at the wall. Finally I’m a man.”
